This less expensive, streamlined edition of Your College Experience presents a straightforward, realistic, and intelligent review of the skills students need to succeed in college. The text focuses on the academic skills taught in college success courses while additional coverage of emotional intelligence, learning styles, diversity, and money help students get off to a great start.

While maintaining its hallmark theme of goal setting, the new edition focuses on practical strategies across all topics of the book to help students be successful from the start. Chapters on Time Management and Communication & Information Literacy have been expanded and updated to incorporate the tools and strategies students use on campus right now. And each new copy of the text can be packaged free with LearningCurve, a new adaptive, online assessment tool.

A full package of instructional support materials—Instructor's Annotated Edition, Instructor's Manual, PowerPoint slides, videos, and Test Bank—provides new and experienced instructors all the tools they will need to engage students and increase student retention.
